fourteenfifteen gallery on Instagram: "Opening this Friday: DECAYING MEMORIES, a solo show by Alayne Caroline Ballantine “Decaying Memories” is a series of pieces mimicking the traditional neon signage that is so historic in Albuquerque that shows the depth and distortion of our memories and nostalgia over time. Specifically, the powerful changes in memory that occur to humans during periods of isolation and exile. We use memories to maintain self-awareness. During periods of solitary confinement and social exclusion those memories become warped. Decaying Memories is a visual expression of this decay, mirrored after the road signs and neon that are nostalgic memories for us living along the Route 66 corridor. It will show the warped, painful feelings hidden within nostalgia; bringing to light the reality that many face not just within the carceral state, but within our everyday lives as we move through time. Friday, September 8 7 - 10pm at Fourteenfifteen Gallery #decayingmemories #artopening #artexhibition #contemporaryart #artistrungallery #fourteenfifteengallery #albuquerqueart #newmexicoart #barelas #route66 #neon"
